dodgem37 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 This is something I started working on after that Dragon P-51D. It's gloss coated. I stopped working on it because I am disappointed with the top wing to fusalage connection and the traps between the colors. Right now I'm working on a tank for a build on another site. I'd like to think I'll get back to it and refinish it, but I don't know. The paint job was really a bear. To think I need to repaint it is a daunting thought to me. The Instrument Panel. I sanded down the rudder pedals and then removed the 'plastic film'. I tried to paint the white in the IP dials and failed. So I use a white prismacolor pencil. Way back on the wing root you may be able to notice I scribed that panel line that is missing on the top wing but is on the lower wing. I made round rivets with some rivet tool I bought. The tool is similar to the one MDC sells but has about a jillion shafts with different sized indents. Right side cockpit. I painted the wrong area of the gas line. I'll have to correct this. I threw in some extra tubing and stuff for the oxygen regulator to make it look a little more busy. Left side cockpit. The throttle and stuff is made with lead foil I think. It's bent out of position. I have to correct the angle. 3/4 front left view. The hole in the back deck is so I can pop out the door from the inside before I attached the wings. The door was too thick so I needed to sand it down. The hole allowed me to pop the door out while I was checking the fit. I wonder where the door is? 3/4 left rear. Figuring out the re-juxtapositioning of the national colors on a dropped flap was a challenge. Whether rightly or wrongly, I don't know, but I blanked off the wing root at the radiator flaps. 3/4 right rear. 3/4 front left view. It's barely noticeable but I cut out the panel under near the gun tube and located a half rounded piece of metal under the gun. The gun is drilled out. A landing gear. I painted tape to represent a leather boot on the oleo. I saw that somewhere. The door will cover the seam. The brake line has a leather flex hose. I saw that somewhere too. The tire and wheel will cover up the fact that it is not connected to anything. The door will hide the rest. I opened up the scissor. A wild spiral. A drawing I made to figure out how I needed to mask the spiral. The little tick marks with numbers are the locations of the propeller blades. I did 2 sets. Marked with 1's and 2's. That way I would know the color onto which the blades fell. I don't think it mattered in the end. I don't remember. Thanks for looking.

LSP_Kevin Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Mark, that is awesome work! Especially that spiral - amazing masking job. And what a wild-looking 109! I don't think I've ever seen one quite so striking as that. You should definitely finish it. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeMaben Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 A unique and colorful scheme for sure, although entirely ficticious. I considered doing that one myself years ago. Alburymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
